Good Day to All,

Just picked up a 1976 VIP V-6 with a 75hp Chrysler outboard. While I understand the basics of engines and electrical systems, I need some tutoring on start procedures for this engine. I can get the starter to engage and turn the fly wheel but the motor is not starting. Other details:
  • Motor is in the down position
  • Gas priming bulb is firm
  • Throttle is in neutral
  • New battery

I am not familiar with the button below the throttle control lever that says Neutral warm start. Would that allow me to operate the throttle with engaging the propeller?

Any help/comment would be greatly appreciated.

Figured it out. Pressed in on ignition switch to activate choke and also activated neutral warm up. Engine ran successfully.:)
